MARKET REPORTS. 'i.hb IS'uvv Zouluntl Inuin fine! Mtivcantile Airuucy Company Limited report under IH'NKUIS, May 7th.—^(train.—Wheat : owing to the less favorable reports to hand with respect to tho position of the in wket at Home (luring the past week, tho keenness displayed by buyers lately to securo further supplies in the local market is for the moment slightly checked; but, as stocks in millors' hands are limited, hardly any in mints' hands, and tho quantity still available in tho country supposed to be considerably short of the season's requirements, there is little doubt that immediately present stoeiis show signs of exhaustion, which will certainly eomo abmit within tno next tini'O months, a much stronger demand will b" expi'rionced, whon it h anticipated that ices will rise to a higher lißure than they liave yet touched. Privately a quiet busy nr-s is now bting done at up to last week s ..notations, which may be rapeated—viz, for prime milling, Northern, velvet and Tuscan, 'Is 7d to .Is Sd ; Southern, 4s bd to ■Is 7d ; medium, -Is 3d to -Is od ; inferior and food whole fowls' wheat, 3s Ud to (oxHtore, terms). Oats : There is but little change in the positi m of the market with regard to these. A fair demand is experienced for both good, short feed and milling, at about equal to last week s rates ; but tho quantity coming forward is still much below tho average as compared with previous season's deliveries, so that the quantity for immediate disposal is at the moment correspondingly less, which doubt1, S3 assists to stoady the jriarket to a certain extent. Considering that tho demand for uvportis not by any means strong, wellhiiod parcels are likely to keep firm and lierhaps improve in value. Owing to the iinlavorabln weather prevailing bouth, a very considerably quantity of oats especially will hardly bo fit for market. Quotations for host feed and millings.
